The Southaven Board of Aldermen voted to adopt a resolution fixing the city's ad valorem tax levy on real and personal property and approving the fiscal year 2026 budget during a brief special meeting.
The measure was moved by Alderman George Payne and seconded by Alderman Ottoman Flores; a roll call recorded Alderman Payne, Alderman Lewis and Alderman Jerome voting “yes,” and the presiding official stated the motion carries. The transcript does not specify the adopted millage rate or the total dollar value of the budget.
The resolution, as read into the record, was described as fixing the ad valorem tax levy and establishing the budget, appropriations and expenditures for fiscal year 2025–2026 for the City of Southaven. There was no substantive debate recorded on the budget item during the meeting; the agenda contained a single item: the adoption of the fiscal year 2026 tax millage rate and budget.
The special meeting opened with a prayer led by Ottoman Flores and the pledge of allegiance. After the budget vote, aldermen moved and seconded a motion to adjourn; the presiding official called the ayes and adjourned the meeting.
The meeting transcript does not include the numerical millage rate, line-item appropriations, or the total budget figure. Those specifics are typically recorded in the formal resolution and budget documents maintained by the city clerk.
